Let's go to it this will be the first model to perform in this GB after much timepo away from everything and everyone for work and family issues.
in the next entry I will put some of the story of the deadly viboras or the RAN that was the squadron 293 of the vpaf. equipped with mig 17f from 1962 to 1968 which were retrofitted with the mig 19 and quickly with the much higher mig 21.

as you see brings four decorations and I'm still a little doubtful to know what to do

This airplane that shows the photo that you put in 1972 was the last one of the mif 17f that had operative the 293º sqn, when they retired they took it to hanoi to the museum of the war, where it continues exposed. about 2077 wrote 2011.

My cockpit

the photos are not the best I did with the mobile but at least show something when I went to make the photos with the camera it turns out that my wife took it to the course of photography ... so I ran out of camera for a few days

At the moment there is nothing to watch. The stinky photobucket site cut off the accessing to uploaded pictures there again.

 

[parsifal]
